YourSpace Powers On
YourSpace Muso Showcase is a weekly night of FREE live music & performance running every Wednesday night @ the Town Hall Hotel, Newtown.
Each week 10-13 bands, duos & solo acts grace the YourSpace stage from 7pm til 12am. Booked acts are followed by an open stage Jam Session to cap off the night.
All genres & levels of expertise are welcome & applauded
Genre-jumping & sub-culture clashing are the only things that are standard.
Starting off as a simple open mic night in Newtown way back in 2006, YourSpace, now heading into its 3 rd year of existence has morphed into a rarity in the Sydney scene, with a wide range of performers on show, not just solos & duos but full bands, along side poets, magicians, spoon-players and more - all greeted by a regular fan base of supporters.
The YourSpace stage hosts all kinds of acts, artists trying out new material, bands making their live debuts, along side sets by performers who regularly gig around Sydney.
YourSpace also features art of the visual, textual and tactile kind with drawn, written and plasticine artworks being created by the audience whilst being entertained by the onstage performers.
Each creation is photographed and/or scanned & are uploaded for display via our MySpace page: www.myspace.com/getyourspace
Bookings to play YourSpace are taken on a first-in-best-dressed system via an online calendar. The only rule is that all performers are over the age of 18. This results in the eclectic, anything goes vibe of the nights with funksters taking the stage after folkies, punks along side prog rockers and rappers following rockers.
Bookings need to be made well in advance, with the YourSpace Calendar regularly booking out at least a month ahead.
